I know a lot of people have ideas for enhancing this forum. This is the place to make your suggestions. I'm not in charge, so I can't even begin to say whether they'll be taken seriously. But I can pass them on to the Gods, or direct them here for a look-see if there's anything good. Don't hold your breath though for them to be acted on.

This is like the third time I have said this - but since this is the official thread,

How about a notification hooked to the "quote" button action so when someone uses it, it notifies the person they "quoted". This would be very nice.

And a How-to for posting properly prepared images so I don't have to wait to load a 500k image that would have been 15k if someone had bothered to index the color and lower the resolution to 74. I will write it if you are feeling lazy.

How about a label of somekind to distinguish those whose advice has been proven trusted, yet aren't [PC] members for whatever reason? Could replace the "10" or "8086" with [PC] Approved, or something similar.

I know we don't want to get into varying tiers, as [PC] and all others should be sufficient. However, some questionable advice pops up from time to time and it can be difficult for a new member to decide which advice is valid. One particular example is the thread below, as before Chumly stepped in, my post just blended with the rest:

Take note of the Cut&Paste above, the "To:" is BLANK. Needs to have my email addy there, or it goes to trash with out me even seeing it.

If you are talking about your PM box, this is not an issue. If you are talking about your real email box - Then yes...This should be fixed. My email filter already checks the "to" line. This is not a "feature" but something that will get forum emails to my real emailbox dropped in the trash.

Mods,
If this is the case and it is not going to be fixed, please let us know so we (at least I) can take action on my side. I can possibly just make the "futurenetworkusa" domain pass through or something.

ok...now that I've been through a few times...a newest posts or newest thread activity button would be nice. Today's posts button would be cool do....unless i'm just missing those altogether in which case this is a useless point..wouldn't be the first or last time I've done that

I thought about maybe having the "Notify me when a reply is posted" set to a default of ON...but with some of these theads, you cuold really generate quite a bit of email from that and I'm not sure how feasable implementing a quote and reply buttons on individual threads is.

Here are some that I have thought about that I would like to see:

Have posts you posted in marked. Like they were marked High Interest in the old forum with the thumbs up.

Have each reply in a thread numbered so we can link directly to a reply in a thread.

Ignore Feature!

Ignore feature that when someone you have on ignore says they can not reply because they are being ignored if they reply to YOUR post. <----would be nice!

Message notification so you know when your message has a reply to it and not the thread like it is now.

Have how many new posts there are since your last visit. Such as if you read a thread that has 3 posts and it has 10 new replies to it later it shows this like in the old forum.

can the forum be set to automatically input the original thread subject when trying to reply?

currently, when you reply to a thread, it's defaulted at blank, i'd like it to default to have the original title. this way, i don't have to scroll all the way to the top when i wanna see the subject of the thread.

i might be wrong about this, but it doesn't seem that this forum lets you know that a post has been edited.

You're allowed a single edit within (I think) a minute before it starts putting the notification in your message. Of course, I have a post or two that never show it's been updated. But that might be a configuration issue.
